Welcome to TheShow.OOTPLeagues.Com TheShow is a premiere online baseball simulation league, utilizing the baseball simulation game, Out of the Park Baseball 10 (OOTP X). This league has a comprehensive incentive point plan, as well as program to punish teams for improper management. TheShow's front office consists of the Commissioner and 2 Assistants. The league has been around for more than 18 seasons now, beginning well back in the OOTP 5 days. TheShow reset the files to a more modern fileset after 14 seasons under the original files.
TheShow's Commissioner has provided an elaborate website stock full of tools and resources to make managing in this league enjoyable and simple. This website has many features that cannot be found on any other league's site. TheShow also uses AOL's instant messenger as a communication too, as well as the website's built-in Forums and Private Messaging. A listing of all of the GM's contact information can be found on in the GM List module and also can be found in the popup-statistics by moving your mouse over the team logos at the top of the website.
TheShow simulates about 10 or 11 days of the schedule each of 3 nights a week. This allows for one month of the schedule to go by about every week. The games are simmed by the Commissioner at 9 PM (ET) on Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night. Exports are due before the sim time. The sim schedule is posted on the front page of the website.

The Phillies Looking to the Future
soadeathdealer writes "The Philadelphia Phillies GM Kevin Tucker has taken over the team. Tucker has made it very clear that the teams preformance this year is unacceptable for him. Tucker has also said it is time to rebuild as the state of the team is in shambles. He said the teams finances are in the dump and he said his job is to turn them around starting with the shoping of 2B Chance Utley , SP A.J Burnett , CL Brad Lidge and CF Shane Victorino . The team is looking for possible suiters for these players as the Phillies are looking to shave down payrol and also start to rebuilding its farm club in hops of reviving this Potincial power house.

September call-ups waste little time making presence known
Only last week starting pitcher, Anthony Swarzak, and third basemen, Danny Valencia, were leading the way for Minnesota Twins's AAA affiliate franchise the Rochester Red Wings to a fine season. Meanwhile the parent club the Minnesota Twins found themselves three games back of the Cleveland Indians in second place.
Flash forward one week, how much things can change...
Danny Valencia found himself surrounded by new teammates and batting third between all star catcher Joe Mauer and first basemen 'Big Air Canada' Justin Morneau in front of thousands of cheering fans. The new surroundings did not phase Valencia as he did what he always had done that is hit. Valencia responded with a game winning blast off closer Joel Zumaya ending a 10 inning marathon against the Detroit Tiger last night; sending the fans home happy in a buzz and leaving the media wondering what will be next as an encore from youngester.
Anthony Swarzak had been tittering on the edge for a promotion since the all star break. The Minnesota Twins front office resisted the temptation of calling up its prize pitcher until last week. Swarzak did not disappoint in his debut. In an outing just days before his birthday against the Los Angeles Angels, Swarzak toss 7 innings of 2 run ball to go with 8 punch outs allowing only 5 hits and surrendering no walks. Happy birthday young fella!
The Minnesota Twins no longer find themselves in second place. Since the call ups of Swarzak and Valencia, the Twins have went on a six game winning streak streaking into a tie for first place with the Cleveland Indians.
With three more games this week against the Indians and three more to conclude the season the Twins will soon fine out if they have what it takes to dethrone last year's AL Central champs. With the likes of youngsters Danny Valencia, and Anthony Swarzak the Minnesota Twins and their fans have to like their chances and have a lot to be thankful for.
In other news, the Minnesota Twins and veteran third basemen Troy Glaus have to come to a two year agreement with a team option for the last year of the contract. Here is what Glaus had to say about his new contract:
" Your offer is exactly what I'm looking for at this stage in my career. My focus is finishing off my career on a high note, the money will be there if I work hard and put together solid numbers. Thank you again for being such a class act."

Diamondbacks Bid for World Series Ring in Doubt
Diamondbacks star right fielder Justin Upton was lost for the season last week, marking the second time in the past two years the Diamondbacks have lost their best player just prior to the playoffs. Upton, making a convincing bid for the National League MVP this season, is batting .375 on the year with 42 homeruns, 123 RBIs, and 130 runs scored in just 483 at bats while sporting a stellar .481 on-base percentage.
Last season, Stephen Drew was lost in early September, severely hampering the Diamondbacks' Series hopes, as they were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round.
Slick-fielding but injury-prone Rocco Baldelli is expected to see a majority of starts in RF throughout the remainder of the season.

Blockbuster Houston/Arizona Trade Reaping Benefits for Both
In the flurry of trade deadline maneuvering, no swap was as heavily analyzed, criticized, and dissected as the transaction that sent last year's Cy Young Award Winner Brandon Webb along with Justin Duchscherer to the Houston Astros for Wandy Rodriguez and Kaz Matsui. Midway through August, however, the benefits to both clubs are becoming obvious.
Webb, who has been having a roller coaster year, is starting to round into form for the Astros. With two starts under his belt, is 0-2. These stats don't tell the whole story, however. Webb's first outing was disastrous, giving up 4 runs in two innings of work, likely attributed to stress and nerves from the recent move. His next start, however, a 4-5 loss to the hard-hitting Reds, was a pitching masterpiece. The Sultan of Sliders scattered six hits and two walks across eight innings, notching six strikeouts while giving up only two earned runs. More importantly, Webb's dominant groundball to flyball ratio returned to a wizard-like 2:1.
Duchscherer, a throw-in as the Diamondbacks attempted to rid themselves of a long-term free agent contract, has been tremendous for the Astros. Feeling new life in his pitching arm in the humid swelter that is Houston in August, Duchscherer is 2-0 in three starts, with an ERA and a WHIP both holding at 1.02. The change of scenery has, apparently, done the Duke some good.
From the Diamondbacks perspective, in the middle of a playoff hunt they have been able to clear up some space on their starting roster to bring up rookie hurlers Jarrod Parker and Kevin Eichhorn. Parker has been impressive in his debut, going 2-1 in his first seven starts with an ERA of 4.99 and a WHIP of 1.34. Only the demise of the Diamondback bullpen has kept Parker from record of 4-1, as he does a great job of keeping his team in games.
Eichhorn, on the other hand, has been exceeding expectations with a 4-1 record in his first five major league starts. With a WHIP of 1.21 and an ERA of 3.03, Eichhorn never gives in to hitters, evidenced by his K:BB rate of 2.5:1. These two prospects, considered the gems of the Diamondbacks' farm system, will likely make or break the club's hopes of winning the World Series this year.
Since the transaction, Arizona has moved from a 0.5 game lead over the Portland Stags to a 2.5 game lead. The Stags, always a threat, have been feeling the heat as well, moving back to a four-man starting rotation with the demotion of Barry Zito to AAA. It's still early in the race, but with seven head-to-head games in the space of eight days in late September, now would be an excellent time to reserve your tickets for the developing rivalry!

Looking up from the bottom of the NL Central
With 4 teams within 4 games of first place; the division crown and chance at the playoffs could come down to the last week of the season.
Chicago Cubs Aramis Ramirez , Milton Bradley, Dylan Johnston have 20+ homeruns. This team is firing on offense, but only one pitcher on the staff has an ERA under 4. The Cubbies will need thier ace in Carlos Zambrano to curb his emotions and let his talent take over to lead this team into the playoffs. Active GM Dan Hyde will keep them in the hunt
Milwaukee Brewers Corey Hart and Ryan Braun are showing impressive power for such young players. The young player is what really powers this team from top to bottom. Add Prince Fielder and Taylor Green to this young group and you have quite an offensive force. The starting rotation has solid ERAs and a solid veteran bullpen could be the keys to keeping the Brewers in hunt for the division.
St Louis Cardinals An active and experinced GM in Joe Woodring who has multiple championships, so you always have to consider this team when talking playoffs. This team is built around starting pitching and Albert Pujols powering the offense. The bullpen could be the weak spot on the team with only closer Jason Motte with an ERA under 4
Houston Astros With new management taking over during the season, some new life has been brought to a solid team. New GM Alex Kiser has made some aggresive moves going out to and acquiring Brandon Webb and Justin Duchscherer to add to a strong starting rotation that all ready featured Roy Oswalt who is having an uncharacteristic bad season. Add a very powerful offense and the Astros plan to make a lot os noise in the race
Pittsburgh Pirates After some how finishing .500 last season the wheels have fallen off the wagon. The team tried to move veterans that nobody wanted, so the team is in rebuild mode playing younger players and grooming future starters on in AAA. Look for a massive call up from AAA next season and pray some pitching develops.
PREDICTION: I predict the Brewers making the post season with the Astros closing the gap to make it very interesting.
